California Tax Form 588 for Out-of-State Beekeepers |
|
It appears that in an attempt to find additional sources of revenue to aid a failing state economy, California's Franchise Tax Board (FTB) is going to crack down on out-of-state beekeepers coming to the state to pollinate California crops. If you have income from California, and don't prepare a California tax return, the FTB would like 7% of your income and you may find your grower withholding this. To prevent it from happening, be pro-active, visit www.ftb.ca.gov and learn more about your requirements, fill out the proper forms (Form 588, the Nonresident Withholding Waiver Request), and claim your California expenses against your California income.
